IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM-TRAPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 130,490, dated August 13, 1872.

To all whom it may concern: l

Be it known that I, DAVID DICK, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain newv and useful Improvements in Steam-Heating Apparatus; and do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature Of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a steam-trap for dischargin g the condensed Water as accumulated from steam-heatin g apparatus, as Will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In Order to enable others skilled in the art bottom of the chamber, With openings F. The

lower end of the tube g Opens into a tube, g', under the chamber d, as shown in Fig. 1. e represents the balance-Heat provided With a central tube, which fits over the discharge-tube g and projects a suitable distance below the iioat, having at its lower end bearing-points H. These bearing-points may be dispensed with, if so desired, or one or :more may be used. b is a sediment chamber under the main chamber d provided with a front inlet, a. Inside of the sediment-chamber b is a WiregauzeI strain-er, c, and above are Openin gs leading into the main chamber. The Water and steam enters through the opening a, passing into the sediment-chamber b, and through the strainer o into the main chamber d, raising thc float e, thereby Opening the outlets F in the discharge-tube gf The ioat rises and falls, openin g and closing the outlets F, according to the quantity of water accumulating in the main chamber d.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the main chamber d with the discharge-pipe g g having outlets F, the sediment-chamber b with strainer c, and the balance-Heat e with central tube and bearin g-points H, all constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

DAVID DICK.
